WHAT IS KIDS ROCK?

Kids Rock is a program designed for children that follows the liturgical calendar, using a multi-disciplinary approach to teach young children about their faith. The program uses music, singing, storytelling, crafts and engaging activities that brings the beauty of the Catholic Faith to life for them.

WHEN IS KIDS ROCK?

Kids Rock is held during the the 9:30am Sunday Mass where the children are entrusted to the care of the Kids Rock team of staff and volunteers. Parents bring their children to the Parish Hall by 9:15am for check-in. Parents can then attend Mass (parents must be in the church while children are at Kids Rock). After Mass, parents pick up and sign out their children.


WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE CLASS?

The children process into the church with the priest and Mass ministry volunteers, receive a blessing, and are dismissed to attend the class in the Hall. There, the children are separated into two groups according to age, where they participate in the activity/teaching for the day.



DO THE CHILDREN PARTICIPATE IN THE MASS?

The children are brought up to the Sanctuary for the Eucharistic Prayer where they receive a blessing and proceed back to the Hall to finish the class with another short activity that reinforces the teaching of the day.



WHO CAN PARTICIPATE IN KIDS ROCK?

All children ages 3 to Grade 1 and who are potty trained, are welcome. They are separated into two groups: Preschool (ages 3-4) and Kindergarten (ages 5-6). In order to register your child, at least one family member must volunteer and undergo the Diocesan screening process.

WHAT IS VOLUNTEER SCREENING?

This is a mandatory requirement as set forth by the Diocese of Calgary. Each volunteer working with the vulnerable sector must read through, agree to and sign both the Model Code of Conduct and the Volunteer Information Form. CLICK HERE FOR THESE FORMS

The Resurrection Choir at St. Peter’s stands as a testament to the power of music and compassion. By coming together for the sole purpose of singing at Catholic funerals, choir members provide a touching and heartfelt gift to grieving families, lifting spirits and creating a sense of peace during times of loss.

For those who wish to be part of a choir but cannot make a weekly commitment, the Resurrection Choir is the perfect fit. We understand that people have busy lives and might find it challenging to commit to regular rehearsals. Therefore, we only practice before each funeral Mass, allowing members to participate when they are available.

If you want to be part of a choir that makes a difference without the pressure of a weekly commitment, we warmly welcome you.  The joy of making a positive impact on the lives of grieving families is the most rewarding aspect of being part of the Resurrection Choir.

Encounter is a new choir that began to serve St. Peters in late 2022. We would love to welcome singers and musicians of all ages to join our growing group. Our song selections are mostly traditional sprinkled with some contemporary – sourced from the Glory & Praise hymnal. 

 

Our choir has a passion for leading St Peter’s congregation in praise, the meaning of our name, Laudate.  We are a friendly and supportive group who love the liturgy, the music and the gift of blending our voices with each other and the assembly. The music we sing is diverse, from chant & traditional to contemporary. Our membership presently is mostly adults but families with children are always welcome. Many young people have grown up in our ranks! Singers and instrumentalists, with or without experience, who share our desire to praise and to serve, are invited to join us.

 

Youth Alive is a group of young singers and musicians who come together to offer praise to God.  Being a part of our choir provides kids and teens with opportunities to grow musically as individuals, while contributing to the artistry of singing together as a group.

There are also opportunities to grow into leading roles, thereby allowing for teens to build confidence, and become role models for the younger ones. We are always happy to welcome new members who share our passion for music, as well as a solid commitment to serving the parish of St Peter’s.

 

We are a group of singers and players who get up extra early to praise God with music!

There are opportunities for a variety of skill and confidence levels. Being able to read music is an asset but is not required. Instruments get the chance to shine by playing musical parts.

Choristers are encouraged to blend their voices in song and are provided with the opportunity to sing solo parts as needed. We practise every two weeks for about an hour. There is an emphasis on joy and mutual support.

Welcome to our Saturday Night Live Choir where our dedicated singers and musicians understand the importance of embracing modern musical styles while honoring our rich Catholic traditions. Our limited practice time before Mass enables those who are busy during the week, to fit both choir participation and Mass into their schedules. 

Our choir’s energy and enthusiasm radiates throughout the church as we engage the congregation in active participation. Our goal is to create an atmosphere that resonates with all generations, inviting the congregation to connect deeply with their spirituality through the power of music, igniting the fire of faith within every heart present.  We happily welcome new members!
